When MIPAS was invented, the ozone hole had not even been discovered.
When MIPAS was selected as core payload for the Envisat mission, the ozone-hole hype was very favorable for MIPAS
When Envisat was launched, the ozone hole was already understood.
But still a lot of useful science could be done with MIPAS!

Lessons learned:
When you design an instrument, it may be wise not to be over-specific:
The success of MIPAS is due to the fact that it could do a lot of things beyond the ozone-hole, whose investigation MIPAS was designed and built for.
The research topic of today may be outdated when a new satellite actually will be launched.
Thomas von Clarmann, IMK-ASF, KIT, KarlsruheEnvisat Birthday Party, Florence, 29 February 2012
Be careful: whatever you do in the stratosphere, MIPAS will
stand up as witness.
THANK YOU!
